“Bassem Youssef is my hero.” —Jon Stewart

Bassem Youssef, dubbed “the Jon Stewart of the Arab World,”
was the host of popular TV show AlBernameg, the first of its kind
political satire show in the Middle East. Originally a five-minute
show on YouTube, AlBernameg became the first online-to-TV
conversion in the Middle East and the most watched show across
the region, with 30 million viewers every week, before having to
flee Egypt to avoid arrest. The 2017 documentary about Youssef,
Tickling Giants, received near-universal praise and was called
“an ebullient ode to freedom” by Variety. At the Flynn, Youssef
brings his signature biting political satire in standup format.

Presented in association with the Office of the Vice President for Human Resources, Diversity, and Multicultural Affairs through the UVM President’s Initiative for Diversity.
